lyrics
Big City Lights
by Eric Taylor Escudero
So long,
So lonesome
Gone with so much to do
And brother
As you´re leaving
I realize how much i´m stuck
Cause you´re free forever
Cause your fears have never trapped you
Cause you´re older than me
In the things that you choose
So when you come back
Will you tell me what life is like
Outside the big city lights
Where we were born
The problem
With constant laughter
Is the problem with constant tears
The only use for them
Is showing our most intolerable despair
And to make all this money
I´ve lived the most empty life
I spent all my money
Trying to forget it
What are the words that I should say
Before kissing your mouth
Before asking your name
Before saying i´m sorry for both of us
So when you come back
Will you tell me what love is like
Outside the big city lights
Where we were born
You say sometimes you´re sorry
For all the things you know
For never belonging
Cause you know that all is wrong
You said you had to leave
To remember what life is like
Outside of the gates
Of the tyranny of mankind
That have trapped us helpless
That have locked us blind
You shouldn´t believe everything you see
But you should believe me
So when you come back
Will you tell me what freedom is like
Outside the big city lights
Where we were born
